Baskerville Experimentation

For my Extending Specialist Techniques, I am looking into Typography again. After looking at the typographer John Baskerville, I went back and tried playing around with the typeface that he created.

I like the result, it's got a grunge vibe to it and while the whole thing is made up of Baskerville, it's very hard to make that out. It reminds me of something David Carson once made, which said "Don't mistake legibility for communication". It's definitely something I'm going to use as a basis for something else in this unit. Maybe next time I'll use colours and a different set of words.
